"Oh, Liberty, float not forever in the far horizon, remain not forever in the dream of the enthusiast and the poet and the philanthropist, but come and take up thine abode with the children of man forever."

"You gentlemen may cry Peace, Peace-but there is no peace. The war is actually begun. The next gale that sweeps from the North may bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms. Our brethren are already in the field ! Why stand idle? Is life so dear or peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God ! I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me Liberty or give me Death !"

Seventeen years ago, against the best judgment and advice of every capable thinking American patriot, tlris government of ours "recognized" Russia, and welcomed her into the commonwealth of civilized nations. This writer, as well as every other man for whom I had the least respect, was horrified. Russia was NOT a civilized nation, so far as her government was concerned. She was led by a murderous Asiatic. He had destroyed millions of his own people. He had wiped out the thinking men of his own country. He was and is the most horrid monster in human history. ***

In spite of these and a million other things, President Roosevelt "recognized" that demon government, that group of beast men who seek to destroy the civilized and Christian world. We gave to that foul nest of harpies recognition, credit, position, and money in countless sums. It was we, and only we, who built her to unbelievable size and power-and savagery. We did it.

AND NOW LOOK !

It is too early for a twice-a-month article such as this to attempt to discuss the present war situation. The casualty lists are already heavy on our souls. "fn the midst of life we are in death," indeed. In the midst of a troubled peace we are suddenly in a shooting war, an unexpected war that seems to have caught us napping. Were it not for the great confidence of the American people in the Magnificent MacArthur and his ability to straighten out some of the blunders that have been made about Russia ever since 1933, this country would be deep in gloom. It's bad enough, evin with the great soldier on the front line job.

His colleagues in the lower house of Congress gave him strong applause the other day, when a Texan made the ; suggestion that we serve official notice on North Korea to '.1 get back across her Southern boundary line within a week, .,; and if she fails to do so, let's just wipe her cities off the .; map with atom bombs. It is human nature to applaudsuch a suggestion. Personally, I would rather see every i: damnable slant-eyed Mongolian in Northern Korea wiped .: entirely off the map, than see one good American boy lyingl..:* in his blood. That's how little I think of those brown- j$ skinned savages, and how much I think of our boys. I tl: think the young Congressman was right. I think we should : :r J do whatever will save American lives. There are too many: i:{ Mongolians now. lg :N< ,t rt< - t t<** .i-? ;i

About a year ago I heard General Eaker, formerly in d charge of our air forces in Europe, make a speech in which ,# he suggested that we arrange an atom bomb station at a .T strategic point in Europe, and stock it properly with every- *ii thing essential to the job. Then, the first overt act of war .r]$ Russia makes, we follow a plan well worked out, and wipe ,i"i every main city of Russia entirely off the map in just no .'; time at all. It is idle to argue that you can't win a war ,. i wtih atom bornbs. If tfre Russians had no cities lefg and - { no homes to go back to, the war would be over. I'd like .;* to second that motion, too.

Enormous new expenses come with the shooting war. .i' There seems a disposition in Congriss to insist.on cutting ..,:' down other expenses to meet these new and vital ones. f 1 was reading just the other day about the money we are i: dumpingintoAfrica,undertheMarshallPlan.Looks1ike there should be some part of the world ogr taxpayers could ; stop supporting, especially with a grave war of unknown ;. proportions suddenly thrust upon us. The Marshall Plan fi officeinParishandlesourgiftstoAfricanterritory.Among many other things we are financing very expensive geo- 'r' logical explorations in the Sahara Desert, searching for i; minerals. The most modern American machinery is sweep- :.j ing into various parts of Africa. For instance, there is a i$ big cement plant in North Africa that was built with oot .1.{ Lend-Lease money and is now being rebuilt with Marshall .t i:'$ Plan cash.

Which reminds us that in Alabama, the Chambers of 'fi Commerce of the cities of Anniston and Gadsden have '' erected billboards along the highways that read: "Every time the sun sets your federal government is fifteen million :'l; dollars deeper in debt. How long can this last?"
